When The DALTONS Came To Waynoka...

WHEN THE DALTONS CAME TO WAYNOKA - by E.W. Snoddy, Cattleman, Alva Oklahoma, From the NORTHWEST CATTLEMAN, First Quarter, 1947. Posted 12/20/2004, Waynoka Historical Society -- "In the spring of 1892, the Dalton gang robbed the southbound Santa Fe passenger train at Red Rock, Okla., about 10 o'clock at night. Red Rock at that time was just a handful of men and a section house. As the Daltons were leaving, they saw the telegraph operator with his instruments and, believing he was telegraphing news of the hold-up, very callously shot through the window of the office, killing the boy." -- Waynoka Historical Society website - News   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
